The elevator was an experience. One person and one suitcase just about fit! My room was on the fifth floor which meant the elevator went to the 4th floor and then you walk up to the fifth. The room was tiny, however, the beds were very comfortable. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. And the location was just great; only two blocks from the river. One word would describe this hotel.....location, location, location!

Excellent value for money - Hip, modern, not huge hotel - Very friendly, polite, helpful staff -Super comfortable bed - and windows which open or air-conditioning (not a standard in every Parisian hotel). We have stayed at L'Empire before and will stay there again. Location near the Louvre is excellent, easy walk to the Left bank or toward the Opera, Rue St Honore shopping, etc. Lots of cafes nearby, shopping. Rue d"Arbre Sec is one of the oldest streets, and is charming. Looking at the ultra hip / chic modern interior, one would not necessarily expect such friendly staff, but everyone was very, very nice.
